Bloom

Who doesn’t love the blooming of flowers in springtime, signifying new life & growth? How much more beautiful is it when that happens in people, not plants?! Bloom sessions aim to help cultivate spiritual growth among the women of SLE, through Bible teaching and nurturing inter-generational relationships.

Each session focuses on a topic relevant to us as Christian women, and we dig deep into God’s words for answers, and benefit so much from the insight & wisdom of fellow sisters during reflection and prayer times.

We meet four times a year on a Saturday afternoon, and would love you to join us- if you’re a woman, and if you’re uni-aged and above!

SLE Bloom 2021 “Titus 2 time”

Saturday, 20 March 2021
1:30 – 4:00pm AEST
Various Homes

Whether you are new to SLE Church, or you’ve been here for years, you probably feel like there are so many women you haven’t had the chance to get to know better. Certainly, Covid life has limited our opportunities even more. It may feel even harder to meet and stay connected with other women in our church family.

Perhaps you’d love to get to know older women who can spur you on as you struggle to live for Jesus. Or perhaps you’ve really been wanting to meet some of the younger women, to shower them with love through food and friendship, but you don’t know where to begin! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to build stronger “Titus 2” sorts of relationships between older and younger women in our church? Relationships of mutual encouragement as we walk alongside each other, seeking to grow in loving and living for Jesus?

The Bloom committee would love to create an opportunity for you all to do this! We are holding a “Titus 2 Time” event, where we’ll gather in small groups in various homes. As we kick off the Bloom year in these groups, we’ll have the chance to chat, listen to a short talk, and reflect on what Titus 2 relationships look like. All in a COVIDSafe way 🙂

To make this happen, we need your help! Register now and let us know you’re coming. This is essential so that we can allocate each of you to a small group.

If you have any questions, please contact us at slechurch.bloom@gmail.com.

Untangling Emotions

Saturday, 20 June 2020
1:30-4:00pm
Homes of various ladies at SLE Church

Have you ever felt happy, angry, anxious or upset? If you're human, then you would have felt all these emotions and many more, whether you'd consider yourself an overly emotional person or not!

Have you ever felt confused, ashamed or proud about how you feel? Or wondered whether it was right to feel how you did? Have you stopped to think about what causes your emotions, what's the impact of your emotions, and if there's anything you can do about your emotions?

The Bloom committee is excited to host our first event of the year, where we'll think about our emotions, from God's perspective, revealed in His Word. We'll meet in small groups of 5-6 people, listen to a Bible talk and then mull over it together, considering & discussing how it should change how we think & feel about our emotions.

Thankfully, God wants us to be able to understand and sort out our emotions, not leave them in a tangled up mess.
